 may be laid, 1 think, to the light breakfasts eaten by most people. After considering the question very carefully l have come to the
 conclusion that breakfast Is the
 most important meal of the day, and that sufficient importance is not attached to it iu the majority of households. Of course in this as in nearly all matters. we are largely the creatures of habit, but there are good and bad habits. 1 have found that a very large pro portion of people, in this country at least, eat very little or nothing in the morning. Now, after the long fast enforced between supper or late ,sinner and : or o'clock in the moruing, pel son in good health should feel hungry; and it is at this hour of the day that the heartiest meal may be eaten with the least probability of bad results. The man who starts out in tie morning after eating a hearty breakfast will seldom, unless sui fering from chronic indigestion. experience any of the discomforts which might follow q similar neal at any other time of the day. The chances are he will also enjoy a happy frame of mind ali day, and at noon, or later in the day, which ever be his custom, he will find himself with an excellent appetite for dinner. Eating creates appi- tite. Tho very opposite results will follow the other course in this
 matter, and the man who has not had a good breakfast will not en- joy a good dinner. 1 have treated q good many cases of habitual
 drunkenness, and in great many of them 1 have found that the evil practice of tippling begun to sa-

 corners Washington started for
 the place and arrived there just as
 the jumping was about completed. He noticed that the young lady ill
 question was highly pleased with
 tho successful jumping of one of
 tie competitors, who had outdis- tanced all the others. At inc close Washington asked if he might try his chance; he was told
 to go ahead, and made by far the
 best jump of the day. As he re- turned to the crowd lie noticed
 that the young lady's face had fal- len and he went up 10 her and re-
 marked: You would have prefer ed l had not been the one to excel
 the other" The lady candidly sold this was so. Then said Wash ington: T give my chance to him."
 and he returned unknown as le

 Revolution this young lady, now
 the wife of a Colonel of the mili- tia, met Washington, and OF tell ing her husband that she had met
 him before he doubted the fact, and the two went to Washington
